Hard stop, translated
A three-card decoder for "hard stop": the literal meaning, the meeting-room subtext, and a clearer way to say when you need to leave.
图集
A "hard stop" sounds structural. At work, it usually means the calendar is about to drag someone out of the room.
- Dictionary version: a firm end point.
- Meeting version: "I have a hard stop" means another meeting is waiting.
- Plain English: "I need to leave at 4:00. Can we decide now or move this to tomorrow?"
If the clock is the real blocker, naming the clock beats making the room guess.
